These instruments have been designed and tested in accordance with the relevant
safety regulations for electronic measuring instruments. Any usage outside of this is
deemed to be improper. The perfect functioning and operational safety of the transdu-
cers can only be guaranteed when complying with the instructions given in the operating
instructions. During its use, the legal and safety regulations (e.g. VDE 0100) required for
the particular application must additionally be observed. This also applies accordingly
when using accessories. Tension/compression force transducers are RoHS-compliant in
accordance with Directive 2011/65/EU Art. 2 (2) and (4) d), e) and g). Faultless and safe
operation of this transducer requires proper transport, professional storage, installation
and mounting as well as careful operation and corrective maintenance.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described
here, and may only be used accordingly.The technical specifications contained in these
operating instructions must be observed. Improper handling or operation of the instru-
